Don't Kick the Can

To the Editor:

I was surprised to see that Marian Burros overlooked my family's answer to dealing with the guilt of buying sparkling water: aluminum cans (''Having the Fizz Without the Guilt,'' Oct. 10). Recycling of aluminum cans, unlike plastic, is easy, inexpensive and relatively widespread. What's more, when we buy in bulk from our local grocery store, each 12-ounce can is only 25 cents.

Instead of looking to relatively expensive and cumbersome at-home seltzer makers, why not instead just pop open a can and enjoy?
